Re-bushing wishbones

Recommended Posts

Im going to attempt re-furbing a pair of wishbones and re-bushing them...

 

I've ordered my bushes http://www.fourseasontuning.com/?product=308#

I've heard good things about the rear bush, but not so much clarification on the front, will it fit?! :confused4:

 

When I've de-rusted the control arms, what should I coat them with? Anti-rust primer I guess, and then a few coats of normal paint?

 

Would u paint them 1st then press the bushes in? Or vice versa?

 

 

Many thanks :salute:

I think the front is the same part as on a C anyway...

 

Make sure you use original VAG wishbones, aftermarket ones are flimsy and not strong enough for Corrado's.

 

I would get them sandblasted, them maybe use a spot weld sealer round the edges then zinc prime and then spray with Rustoleum paint which dries as an enamble and is slightly flexible so should last well.

 

Maybe get the bushes pressed in before painting and I would also try and spray them with some 3M / VAG cavity wax when your finished.

 

Here is a subframe I did with the Rustoleum paint
